We believe in a sustainable and flexible approach to nutrition, without imposing limitations on your diet. Our goal is to guide you in establishing healthy eating habits, complemented by the medication's ability to decrease appetite and 'food noise.' We encourage maintaining a nourishing, high-protein diet, and many patients report losing weight without needing uncomfortably restrictive dieting or calorie counting.

Common side effects of semaglutide are usually mild and may include:

The majority of side effects are transient and typically resolve spontaneously. Nevertheless, if side effects persist or deteriorate, seek guidance from a healthcare professional.

Semaglutide Patient Safety Information

When stopping  Semaglutide abruptly, some patients may experience mild to moderate weight gain. Others may maintain the weight loss they achieved while on the medication. We recommend patients work with their Willow physician to slowly decrease their dose in order to maintain their weight loss achievements.

You may notice an increase in appetite and a return of food cravings, allowing you to eat more without feeling as full. However, stopping Semaglutide is a safe and common practice that doesn't involve serious health risks. By gradually tapering off the medication with your physician’s guidance, you can better manage these changes and maintain your health and wellness goals.

Semaglutide Tablets are taken once a day, ideally in the morning. Here’s how to do it:

1. Rinse: If you’ve eaten or had anything to drink, rinse your mouth with water.
2. Place: Put the tablet under your tongue and do not swallow.
3. Dissolve: Let it fully dissolve under your tongue without swallowing the tablet.
4. Wait: Once no taste remains, you can eat or drink again.
